Indian medicine bags (2). While both measure about the same 5"x 7", one appears to be much older than the other, having appeared to have been brain tanned in its early life. Both are intricately beaded and there are brass buttons on both, referring to the U.S. Indian Service, part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, who were charged with improving relations and trust with the various tribes.
Each have belt ties and are in very excellent condition. Please see photos for more detail. South Dakota
